This cute astroboy/alien combo is a Chickengirl digi image I won last week. This was my first experience with digis, which I found tricky to work with on a variety of levels. I colored the image with colored pencils (but couldn't use my favorite Gamsol technique because the solvent kept dissolving the toner). I also clear embossed the "glass" visors of their space helmets.
This is also for several challenges (links below), including to use a background stamp (I used SU Linen on my dark blue layer) and an "It's Simple" challenge which stipulated *no DP* and *no embellishments*. That was harder to do than I thought! I kept wanting to add things (like brads) or use cool swirly (designer) paper. Darn! But still, I love how it turned out.
Thanks for taking a peek!
